Groundswell

Report - 4m SW Groundswell. 15knt NW wind (before shifting SW). 12.46 Low.

Get into the protected corners this morning and surfing was quite pleasant. A good solid groundswell brought plenty of 3ft waves, unfortunately the outgoing tide meant most were shutting down. But with a bit of patience and luck the occasional one held up for a fast ride across the face.

Crowds were non existent all along South Arm.

The wind has turned SW now, so its pretty much all over until tomorrow morning.

Where did the waves go

Report - 3m SW Swell. 10kt NNW. 12.12 low

The 3m swell must have been real westerly as it wasnt producing anything over 2 ft this morning.

Plenty on offer yesterday around South Arm, especially in the afternoon as the tide came in and the seabreeze kicked in quite late.

The east coast fired over the weekend as the wind switched from NE - SW and the easterly swell hung around for a few more days than predicted.

No photos, sometimes you just want to surf.

The autumn weather pattern is well settled in with calm days, but decent swells rolling in from down south.

Things are looking pretty good in the morning for the next couple of days, so find a bank and hit it.

waiting

Report - 2m SW swell. 15 - 20kt Northerlies. 11.30 Low.

Lets face its small today. But nice enough weather to go for a paddle. There are a few decent waves, but its a long wait between. Long enough for your hair to dry out.

So now its just the waiting game as big things are predicted for the end of the week. Just hope it all plays out as expected. Hopefully then I will have some photos worth posting again

flat once again

Report - 1m SW swell. Early light SE winds. Tides - not important really.

2 days with no work and a flat spell hits.

On such a day, what else can you do.

-Get out there and go fishing. Put the boat in, dropped a cray pot at Bruny then caught a few squid on the way home

-Patch up the dings in your boards, just waiting for some waves now

-catch up on paperwork and accounting, ready for tax time

-hope and pray for some rain

smaller, but still ok

Report - 15knt NE, 1.5m SW swell, 10.50 High.

yesterdays south swell hung around into the afternoon (along with Sunday crowds at Wedge), but has disappeared this morning. There are a few waves of decent size still around, but I couldnt find any decent banks. Various sections of the same stretch of beach, have very different wave sizes.

Its still offshore, so somewhere must be good.

Should be a warm day, for Tassie at least.

Missed it

report - 3.5m SW swell, early sw winds easing to se onshore. High Tide 9.50 am.

Apparently whilst I was away hiking through blizzards in the mountains the points got up and did there thing a couple of weeks ago. From reports it was the usual crowded haggling, so I cant say I am too disappointed.

Last week the wind when it wasnt howling in from the SW RSL's and rebounds had some good waves at high tide.

The corner at wedge was OK late this morning as the wind backed off before the sea breeze.

If the banks are still around then the SE predicted for tomorrow should see some fun around South Arm. Or you could try your luck on the east coast somewhere.
